LPBC Quarterly Meeting (May 14, 2015 @ noon)

Liberty On The Rocks (LOTR)

This is not a Libertarian Party event yet I am sure many of you may want to be aware of these events:

WHEN: Monday, February 23rd.
Doors at 6pm, Speaker at 7pmWHERE: Miller’s Bar and Grille
103 South Public Rd., Lafayette

They meet the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month from 6-9pm at Miller’s Grille, 103 South Public Rd. Lafayette, CO 80026. No cover charge; donations accepted.

There has been a major battle brewing in Colorado over the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, so we’re bringing in one of the leading authorities on the subject, Mr. Penn Pfiffner, to talk about it. After a short refresher on the form and function of TABOR, we’ll be discussing the current legal attacks and the defenses being offered.
Understanding TABOR is as easy as it is crucial, so join us on Monday, February 23 at Miller’s Grille in Lafayette to load up on some intellectual ammunition so you can defend your rights as taxpayers when speaking with friends and colleagues who may be unwittingly trying to take them away.
Penn Pfiffner was an early leader and proponent of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) and served as Regional Coordinator in the 1986 effort. He served on the TABOR Committee in subsequent years and is the current Chair. He led the opposition campaigns to the anti-TABOR Amendment 59 in 2008 and the tax increase proposal, Proposition 103.

The student group had a funding balance that was supposed to last for eight years and was consumed in two, Coffin said. CUSG had been considering a $300,000 increase in SGFB’s budget, to be paid for with student fees, until Coffin ordered the freeze.

Is anyone surprised?

He has agreed to do so. Date not as yet set. Stay tuned.

Libertarian Conundrums (March 5, 2015 12:30 p.m.)

This will be the first of probably several discussions about the perceived failures of libertarian philosophy.

At our last lunch we discussed the “need” for government intervention in the marketplace when it came to innovations in pollution control.

So this lunch will be devoted to libertarianism and pollution. This will be, basically, a followup to the lunch of February 12 in which Ken presented ideas about his diesel engine pollution control device.

The Back Room at Carrelli’s

We have the back room booked at Carelli’s through the end of March

Greg Carelli tells me he will book us a month at a time. If we lose the back room for some reason, I will let you guys know, I hope, well in advance.
